This is already answered. I just want to add that C Git has stopped using system fnmatch for some time (part of the reason is system fnmatch behaves differently in corner cases). If you don't mind C, have a look at dowild() in wildmatch.c, or t/t3070-wildmatch.sh for some corner cases (but your cases aren't there, may be worth adding too) -- Duy
